Diligence Leads to Reward

God has placed deep down inside of every person godly desires for provision, healthy relationships, and most importantly, a God connection.  At the same time there are other desires that compete for our attention – these are called the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes and the desire for control/power (1 John 2:16).

You and I are given an opportunity to match our desire with diligent effort.  This requires hard work, consistency, focus and the choice to direct our desire and diligence toward godliness.

Scripture:   “The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.” (Proverbs 13:4)

Prayer:  Dear Lord, Today I make the choice to focus my attention on the godly desires of provision, healthy relationships, and my connection with You. I know that these are good choices.  I commit to be diligent toward the things You have decided are best for me.  In Jesus’ name, Amen
